KMI Panel backs decision not to give Amad penalty

The Premier League's Key Match Incidents Panel has upheld the decision not to award a penalty to Amad Diallo during Manchester United's draw at Bournemouth.

The panel ruled that Bournemouth defender Adrien Truffert's contact was not impactful enough to meet the high threshold for a foul, despite United manager Michael Carrick calling the decision "baffling." Carrick compared the incident to an earlier penalty given to his side for a shirt pull by Alex Jimenez, with pundit Alan Shearer also criticizing the inconsistency.
